I’m always amused when someone tells me the specs of their new tech and then I ask them what they plan to use it for. At this point in history there are some legitimate tasks hampered by specs (games, video editing, CAD, etc.), but those aren’t things the majority of users do. Okay, possibly with the exception of gaming, but while the PC gaming market is experiencing a rebirth, I still don’t see a majority of computer users shopping for the latest video cards anytime soon.
